I knew they don't have a long lifespan but didn't know it would be that short. I guess I'll see how they're holding up soon-ish. I mostly renewed them with 1080p versions of them by now but most likely not the same fansubs. Some of them might not have active torrents though, those would be nice to recover.

    Yeah don't make the mistake so many of us other shmucks did and think "ah, whatever, it's all online now anyway", because before you know it, no it ain't, and you just lost your last copy to mites.

    Because of this, some people have termed our current era as the digital dark ages. All of our digitally stored information has an extremely short lifespan and it will be hard for future generations to recover anything from media written today. Right now, the only way to ensure that data continues into the future is to make frequent backups on new media.

    I burned loads of DVDs with my favourite shows in the mid 2000s, almost none of them were readable only a few years ago.. good thing is I switched to a jellyfin server and found better encodes of pretty much all the shows
